I don’t
often see anyone wearing sunglasses here, even with the bright snow. Most people living here have dark eyes and
maybe the sun doesn’t affect them so much.
I have grey eyes and am very sun sensitive. I almost always wear
sunglasses when I am outdoors in the daytime. I have dark prescription sunglasses and indoor
glasses that turn dark when I am in sunlight.
They don’t lighten up as fast as I’d like when I come indoors, but
otherwise I like them. Recently someone
asked me about wearing dark glasses. She
thought it strange for me to wear dark glasses and told me only the Yakuza
(mafia) wear dark glasses in Japan.
Really?
Stitching
progress
I’ve
put a few more stitches in the silk gauze neko.
I
finished the beaded fringe and have been working on the beaded embellishment on
the body of the shawl. There’s no
diagram or pattern to tell me what to stitch where. I’m just making it up as I go along.

I, like you, almost always wear sunglasses outdoors and well remember similar comments when I lived in Japan. I hadn't thought it to be the colour of the eyes that made the difference to sun sensitivity - you are probably correct.
